HT3275 I've moved my time Capsule to another network and now i can not access it

This may be something simple but im having one of those days! I moved in with my gf and moved my time Capsule to her house. I now can't find it! I can't seem to access it to change the wifi settings. Do I need a USB cable to do this?

A reset will in no way, shape or form, do anything to the content on the hard disk.. it will reset the router settings.. to erase the content of the hard disk you need to use erase from the Airport utility.. that is the one and only way to erase. If you change name of the TC then you will need to point the computer to the correct name. The hard disk content will still be sitting there waiting for you. 
I always now advise people to use SMB type names.. it simply works better. short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.. especially in mixed network. Use it for TC itself plus wireless plus hard disk.

  • I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to iCloud, following your instructions and now I can not use my mobileme e-mail address. How can I contact directly with Apple, not just an automatic reply phone number

    I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to icloud following all your instructions and now I can not use my mobile me e-mail address. I can not activate icloud because when I put my e-mail address it answers that somebody is already using my address. I have my old e-mails, but I can not receive any e-mail or send them.
    I have contacted Apple Technical Support in Spain and I was sent an e-mail saying that I have to call a phone number and when I call it is always an answering machine who answers that says that I have to pay 50€ for a consultation or wait for 10 minutes. When I have made the consultation it was never mentioned that I have to pay 50€ for a phone consultation. If I don't want to wait I have to pay for the Apple Tecnical Support which cost 250 €, this was not mentioned in the technical support page.
    Can somebody let me know how can I contact Apple in another way in order to talk with a human being or chat directly? I was very happy just using my mobileme e-mails, I didn't need any clouds and I was force by Apple to registered if I want to continue using my mobileme e-mail address.

  • I am planning on using my time capsule as a network and essentially an external hard drive - not just back up, is this ok?

    I am planning on using my time capsule as a network and essentially an external hard drive - not just back up, is this ok?

    Most users should use the Time Capsule for backups. This assumes that "original" copies of your data are on the computer and backups of this data are stored on the Time Capsule.
    If either the Time Capsule or the hard drive on your computer fails, there are at least copies of your important data on the other drive.
    If you are asking if you can place "original" files on the Time Capsule, do you have a plan to backup those files?
    If the Time Capsule drive has a problem....and your only copy of your important data is on the Time Capsule....you will lose everything.
    If you are asking if this is OK, the answer for most folks would be "no".
    Can you clarify if this is what you are asking?

  • I recently changed my internet provider and now I can't access any files on my time capsule.

    I recently changed my internet provider from Bell to Rogers and now I can't access my files on my Time Capsule. 
    When I click on Finder, it shows up as a Shared Drive.  Unfortunately, when I select it, the folder shows up blank.  I know the "Data" folder I'd created is there since Time Capsule is able to backup to it and iTunes is still downloading my music to that folder.  How do I fix this? 
    The wireless network works too since all my devices are able to connect to it.
    Help, please!

    NVM: Found out all I had to do was reboot my Macbook Pro. 

  • Thinking of purchasing Time Capsule.... Can I access my documents saved on (Home Network) Time Capsule from another Network??? For instance, I can access my documents saved on MyBookLive (which is connected to my wifi) from ANY wifi connection...

    Thinking of purchasing Time Capsule.... Can I access my documents saved on (Home Network) Time Capsule from another Network??? For instance, I can access my documents saved on MyBookLive (which is connected to my wifi) from ANY wifi connection... Like when I'm at school I can download documents stored on my MyBookLive at home.... I love this feature... But I would prefer to keep my products apple... So my question is can I access my documents from ANYWHERE with Time Capsule???
    Other products I have: MacBook (2009 limited edition it's aluminum) two iPad2 (2012) iPhone 5 (2012) two iphone4 iPod touch (2010) iPod Nano (2011)

    Remote access to TC is allowed by BTMM and iCloud service.
    Not for ipad or iphone.. only the Macbook although I think people have some work arounds..
    NOTE. Your school firewall should block it. If I was still working in network admin I would. ie you are risking the whole network to get access to files unchecked for viruses.. and please don't just say Macs don't get viruses, you can still be the source of the infection even if you don't suffer the disease. Just a carrier.

    Record about my phone (bought in Verizon store and connected to Verizon for 4 years) has been corrupted and now I can not make any changes to my data plan. Several sessions with the technical support and management have not resolved this issue. Each time technical people and top managers promised that this issue will be resolve tomorrow and they will cal me. Nothing happend!! I can not even cancel my service not just to upgrade it. Completely locked. 
    Any advice?
    Thanks.
    Alex.

    Cannot figure out what your talking about since it makes no sense.
    If you are the account owner you can go to the My Verizon web portal http://www.verizonwireless.com
    You must log in with your cell number and your my Verizon portal password. Not the account pin.
    Once there you can change your plan and services. However repeated incorrect login attempts will lock you out of the site. It a fraud prevention measure.
    1-800-922-0204 call support with your cell number and or account number and account pin and they can assist you.
    If you don't have the information then there is nothing they can do.
    If you can verify who you are they may be able to reset your account access. But only if you are the account owner.
    Good Luck

    Orange and green flashing is unfortunately a failure indication.
    How old is the Time Capsule?

  • Pictures were saved to Time Capsule and now I can't access them. Help!

    I moved my library to Time Capsule a few weeks ago. Worked ok, but was kinda clunky--although I use my TC for wifi, I still had to go into finder to connect manually to TC to open my library (this happened as well with iTunes). As well, I kept having to assign the library every time I opened iPhoto. For the last two days, I have not been able to access anything. iPhoto opens (without asking me for the library) completely blank. I can see the iPhoto icon on TC and shows the file size (which I'm guessing means the pictures are still there). I can't access them by going into TC either and it won't roll back (specifically when I try to view backups through iPhoto). I've tried rebooting TC. Still no luck. Please help.

    first - you do not want to put dynamic files like iPhoto and iTunes on the same volume as Time Machine is using for its backups - TM will fill the volume and your iPhoto library will fail due to lack of available space
    second iPhoto simply does not operate well over wireless - library corruption often occurs due to minor fluctuations with the WiFi signals during editing and importing
    I can't access them by going into TC either and it won't roll back (specifically when I try to view backups through iPhoto).
    having your iPhoto library on a Time Capsule does not make it a backup that iPhoto can view - iPhoto is viewing backups made by TimeMachine - and if your iPhoto library is on the TC that TM is using to backup to, it is not likely that you have a backup of the iPhoto library
    Basically the answer is to get a hardwired external drive for your iPhoto and iTunes libraries and have TM backup that EHD

  • Is it possible to set up Time Capsule on one network and then access its stored data (movies) using Back to My Mac from another network that also has Apple TV to play them?

    I recently purchased a Time Capsule to store data at my office.  I have an Apple TV at my home that I would like to start using to play my movies.  With the storage of the new Time Capsule, I am curious if I can somehow store my iTunes movies on the Time Capsule at my office and then use Back to My Mac to access the TC from my home and then play them via Apple TV.  Does this sound possible?  We have an iMac at the office that remains on 24/7 connected to the TC.

    ATV cannot play movies from the TC, even if it is on your home network.. ATV is a streamer.. it is not a media player.. and the TC is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router.. so it has nothing in it either.
    You cannot play movies from ATV without itunes, which streams to the ATV.
    If the iMac is running 24/7 then you should be able to connect to the iMac remotely and run from iTunes on that, which could then play movies stored on the TC.. with the following issues.. if you use wireless on the iMac forget it. The iMac has to be ethernet connected as it has to pick up the movie on the library and play it back to the TC to network to your home.
    The next issues is speed of slowest connection.
    Your download to your home maybe great.. what is the upload speed from your office like??
    If you pay for uploads and downloads you will pay for the movie 3x.. first to download it.. second to upload it.. office to net..  and third to download it again.. net to home..  Sorry but it is better to play the movie directly from online itunes store.
    If you plan to try and play non-itunes movies over the connection, it won't work.. ATV as stated is linked to itunes and cannot play movie files.
    Overall this sounds like you need to think it out a bit more.

  • How to connect a time capsule to another network

    I have recently moved to an area that has no landline system, all ISP's are provided through a wireless router. How should I connect the timecapsule into such a network?
    Regards,
    Martin

    Unfortunately, the Time Capsule was not designed for this type of operation.
    Ask the network administrator if they can provide you with, or recommend a wireless to Ethernet bridge, so that the Time Capsule can receive the Ethernet signal that it wants.
    It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule to "join" the wireless network in Bridge Mode.......but, even if that might be possible, the big downside here is that you would be setting up what is known as a "double hop" wireless situation with the Time Capsule.
    If you do not understand that term.....please post back for more information.

  • I had maually stored files on my time capsule using my old mac now i can't open them using my new mac?

    I had an old mac book pro,using it i maually stored files on it,i sold my old mac book pro and got a new mac book pro but it cant access the old files what should i do?

    How do I begin backups again using the same Time Capsule?
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Time Machine
    Turn Time Machine "ON"
    Click Select Disk
    Choose your Time Capsule
    Click Use This Disk
    The first backup will begin in a few minutes.
    If you decide to delete your old backups, do this before you back up the "new" Mac as listed above.
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Disks tab at the top of the window
    Click Erase
    Choose the Quick Erase option
    Click Erase Disk
    The operation will only take a minute or two.....then, you can set up the first backup of the Mac as listed above.

  • I am getting a time capsule error that the backup disk image can be accessed (error -1) - what does this mean?

    When my time capsule tries to perform a back-up - i get the following error message.
    The backup disk image "/volumes/data/myname's iMac.sparsebundle" could not be acccessed (error-1).
    Is this something that can be resolved or is time capsule dead?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That error is caused by different reasons. Have a look at this Pondini's page > http://pondini.org/TM/C17.html

  • Tried to reformat Time Capsule with Disk Utility and now no Drive

    So, not reading manuals finally bit me in the behind.  I was too impatient waiting for all my back up files to erase so I could free up space, so I got the great idea.......I'll just reformat the disk with Mac Disk Utility, NOT the Airport Utility.  Now my Airport says drive needs repair, however, there is no option in the airport utility for disks anymore.
    Is there anything I can do to get the hard drive back?  or am I stuck with a very expensive wifi device now?
    Please help if you can.

    Which model TC do you have??
    What OS are you running? You  might find running the older 5.6 utility gives you a bit more control but that is not possible if you have Mavericks.. it can be still installed on lion and Mountain Lion.
    Do a factory reset of the TC if you haven't already tried.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Factory reset Gen 5
    Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
    If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
    Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.
